Growing up, I hated my brown eyes. Turns out I just wasn’t styling them correctly. Today it’s all about makeup for brown eyes!

I was so jealous of people with blue eyes, green eyes, hazel eyes… basically anything except my boring brown eyes. I felt like no matter what I did, my eyes always just receded into my head, while those lucky people with blue eyes sparkled and shined and commanded attention wherever they went.

My brown eyes and I quickly grew tired of fading into the background, and so we decided to figure out how to stand out in our own right!

This is my list of 10 Ways to Make YOUR Brown Eyes Really Pop! We’re talking the best colors, application techniques, plus what not to do if you want your eyes to take center stage!

It’s my first official “fall” post of the year, and we’re taking it off the beaten path with this cool (literally) makeup tutorial!

We tend to associate fall with all the warm. I’m talking reds, oranges, and burgundies on the eyes, browns and berries on the lips, and of course, Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Mmmm. (TBH, I’ve never actually had a Pumpkin Spice Latte, so I should probably try one sometime soon.)

This makeup tutorial uses deep khaki green blended with a cool, matte gray to create a deliciously smoky look that’s nice and deep for fall, but still has a different vibe than your average fall makeup.

Today I’m using the Lorac PRO Palette 2, but of course, there are tons of eyeshadow palettes out there that would work perfectly for this tutorial. So grab your greens and grays and let’s get started!

Is there anything more annoying than spending all that time to look cute, only to have your makeup melt off your face at the first sign of moisture?

*Cue those awful memories flooding in…*

I grew up in a very, very rainy place. It poured basically every other day, but unfortunately, I was still required to crawl out of bed and drag myself to school. Which, may I add, was spread out among about 20 buildings with no covered walkways to be found. (I mean, this is Hawaii after all- it’s tropical and beautiful all the time, right? Riiight.)

The point is there exists tons of reasons why moisture-proof makeup is a must. Whether you live in a perpetual rainstorm, enjoy exercising but still want to look cute, work super long hours, or want to go swimming on the first date, this makeup is made for you!

Keep on reading to see my top picks for the best sweat-proof, water-proof, exercise-proof, life-proof makeup. Let’s get started!
